In this year&#039;s free agency, it seems like the New York Giants have a low key and quiet approach. Their biggest free agency signing so far has been running back Shane Vereen.

The New York Giants made a smart decision by releasing running back Peyton Hillis in a salary cap move.

The New York Giants are in the market for a running back with the injury to RB David Wilson. Wilson is out for a few weeks with the injury to his neck.

Giants running back David Wilson sustained a neck injury in Week 5 that forced him to leave that game early and miss the following week's game.
Over the past several days, there were some concerns that Wilson's season (or worse) was in jeopardy as he experienced some "tingling" in the neck and i2013-10-15 06:36:349/21: FFLockerRoom- RB Peyton Hillis Released By Tampa Bayhttp://fflockerroom.com/2013/09/21/rb-peyton-hillis-released-tampa-bay/

As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head into Week 1 of the NFL season, they have a fairly manageable injury report.

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took to the field against the Washington Redskins on Thursday evening, it&#8217;s safe to say there weren&#8217;t a lot of positive moments to be drawn.

Few would argue that the Bucs have had a good pre-season. The offense, which was impressive last year and featured the all-time passing season by a Bucs&#8217; QB, has sputtered.

Throughout the entire offseason many have claimed the Buccaneers biggest issue is the shortage of talent as you dig down the depth chart.

'And, thatÂs totally honest with you. You canÂt say how a game is going to go. We go up there and we work all these hours at night and we put a game plan together, but if a play is not working, then you donÂt keep calling that play. So, whatever is working, thatÂs what weÂre going to call, and thatÂs why many times you look at that offensive call sheet that has so many plays on it because if theyÂre not working, then youÂve got something else to go to.'2012-09-06 12:53:559/6: FootballPerspective.com- Reviewing how last year&#8217;s breakout teams looked after week 1http://www.footballperspective.com/reviewing-how-last-years-breakout-teams-looked-after-week-1/

'He's bringing power, explosiveness, he's strong, he's going to catch the ball, he's got great hands. I feel he's an all-around player like me, so I feel like we can move the ball,' Charles said of Hillis, while noting he believes the two will make a good combination. 'When you have a guy in there that you know is just as good, if not a lot better than you are, that's really good too,' Hillis said.2012-06-14 18:52:555/4: KFFL.com Hot off the Wire- Chiefs | Peyton Hillis willing to accept any roleKFFL:785028
